To staple or not to staple, that is the trite Shakespeare reference.

Hello all!

I posted this as a thread reply earlier, but since forums were down I'm not sure that it was received. Please excuse me if you've read something like this before.

My basic question is this: what's the general policy on stapling forms?

For instance: Is it acceptable to staple the supplements and attachments to official forms (like the I-129F and g-325a), and to staple descriptions of photocopied evidence (e.g., of having met in the past two years or an ongoing relationship) to those photocopies?

In general, are there any known consequences to stapling things that could be organized differently - with paper clips and such? Is stapling to be considered an offense worthy of an RFE or denial?

Thanks for your thoughts,

AJ

No staples.

Use paperclips.

IMHO

I would not use staples.

Use paperclips and Acco fasteners as the USCIS website suggests, I think you'll be on the safe side with that.

I have not heard of RFE's or denials because of staples though. :-)

We used paperclips and I would advise not stapling things per the guidelines.

Thanks, everyone! Staple-makers' stock probably dropped last month.

And, yes, hooray for Slovenia!

Oh, now ya tell me not to use staples. I stapled everything, and got a quick approval of the 129F.

Doesnt really matter. USCIS reorganizes your packet into one big pile, so any fancy sleaves or folders you send in just end up in the trash, and that isn't a green petition.
